What kind of bond is not present in a saturated fat but is in a unsaturated fat?
c=c bond is present in saturated and c-c bond is present in unsaturated
Is an alkene a saturated or a unsaturated fat?
Alkenes are unsaturated because they contain a double bond.
How are unsaturated and saturated hydrocarbon different?
Saturated hydrocarbon cannot bond with compounds anymore, where as unsaturated hydrocarbons can bond, as they contain double or triple bonds. When they bond, the double and triple bonds break and new separate single bonds are formed with hydrogens or any other external compounds.
What is the difference between a saturated an a unsaturated fatty acid?
Unsaturated fatty acids have double bond or triple bonds, whereas saturated fatty acids do not.
Why is unsaturated compound more reactive?
unsaturation is mainly due to pi electrons which are less stable than sigma bond electrons present in saturated compounds
Is butane saturated or unsaturated?
No. All saturated hydrocarbons end in the suffix -ane
Are alkenes saturated or unsaturated?
No, they are unsaturated as they contain double bonds
What is the structure of cyclohexene Is the compound saturated or unsaturated Explain?
Cyclohexene is an unsaturated molecule because contain a double bond and has a ring structure.
Is glycerol saturated?
Yes glycerol is saturated in hydrogen. Glycerol is found in both unsaturated and saturated fats and can bond with fatty acids.
What is the difference in the way saturated and unsaturated fats act in the body?
The difference between saturated and unsaturated fats lies in the bond, because the shapes determine how the various fats act in the body.
What shift occurs when a saturated compound is converted into an unsaturated compound?
It gains a double bond. Unsaturated basically means it has a double bond. from C-C to C=C basically.
How do you know if a lipid is saturated?
To be a saturated fat, the lipid has no double bonds. If it has at least one double bond, the lipid is an unsaturated fat.
